How much does a 3D assembly video cost?
All essential information regarding pricing, effort, and cost factors for professional 3D assembly videos
The cost of a 3D assembly video depends on various factors. The most decisive factor is, above all, the desired length of the animation. The more assembly steps that need to be explained, the longer the video becomes and the more complex the production process. While simple assembly animations can be produced with relatively modest effort, complex machinery and systems require significantly more detailed planning and execution.
A professional 3D assembly video helps to clearly convey assembly procedures, reduce errors, and visually showcase technical products. On this page, you will learn which factors influence the price and what costs companies can typically expect.
How much does a 3D assembly video cost?
At Animations-Maschine, the cost for a professional 3D assembly video typically ranges between €2,000 and €3,000 per minute of video, depending on the scope and complexity of the project. The key determining factors are the desired level of detail and the number of assembly steps to be illustrated and, consequently, the overall video length.
How is the price of a 3D assembly animation calculated?
The price of a 3D assembly animation is determined by several distinct stages of work. These include the preparation of CAD data, the creation of the animation, rendering, sound design, and any potential revision cycles. The more detailed the visualization and the higher the desired quality, the greater the production effort required.
Which factors influence the cost of an assembly video?
Key influencing factors include the length of the final assembly video, the number of components, the complexity of the assembly, the desired image quality, as well as additional services such as audio narration, annotations, or multilingual versions.
Can existing CAD data reduce the costs of a 3D assembly video?
Yes. High-quality CAD data enables a significantly faster project start and reduces the effort required for modeling and data preparation. This allows for savings in both time and costs. If no CAD data is available, the Animation Machine can, of course, also create it for use in the assembly video.
What services are included in the price of a 3D assembly animation?
Typically, a project encompasses CAD data preparation, the conceptualization of assembly steps, animation creation, rendering, and final video delivery. An intro, outro, logo integration, background music, on-screen text overlays, and standard revision rounds are also included. Additional services—such as voice-overs or multilingual versions are arranged on an individual basis.
Are there fixed prices for the creation of 3D assembly videos?
Yes, definitely. At Animations-Maschine, a fixed price is established before the start of every project. This price is determined in advance based on the number of assembly steps and other specific details, and is presented to you as a formal quote. This ensures that you always know the exact costs upfront, allowing you to make an informed decision in advance.
How much does a 60-second 3D assembly video cost?
At Animations-Maschine, a professional 60-second 3D assembly animation typically costs around 2,750 euros. If the assembly steps are very simple, the price may be slightly lower; for more complex assembly processes, it may be slightly higher.
How much does a multilingual assembly animation cost?
Since the core animation remains intact, creating multilingual versions is significantly more cost-effective than producing a video from scratch. At Animations-Maschine, each additional language adaptation—provided it is purely text-based—typically costs €250 per minute of video. In most cases, the translations themselves are provided by the client. If voiceover recordings also require translation, additional costs will apply, depending on the voice talent selected.
How much do revisions cost for a 3D assembly video?
Standard revisions are generally included in the price at Animations-Maschine and do not incur extra charges. This applies, for example, to corrections where an aspect of the implementation was misunderstood, or where the color tone or material selection was incorrect. Additional requirements or those introduced subsequently are, however, not considered standard revisions and will be re-evaluated. Any potential additional costs associated with such changes will be disclosed transparently in advance and agreed upon prior to implementation.
